Yo mods, is there any way to install a dark mode for Twoism?

I would so love a dark mode for our beloved forum, at night all my other usual haunts have the option of turning one on, or at least respond to the OS's dark mode preference, but then I click onto Twoism and OMFG MY RETINAS.

I know it's a first world problem but I just wondered if it was something the forum software had built in that maybe just needs enabled?

It is but for me it's god awful on the eyes also, mainly due to the text colours being too similar to the background colours. I'm in it right now and can barely read what I'm typing.

It should be as simple as this....

Download: Find a dark mode extension in the official phpBB Customisation Database and download the .zip file.

Extract: Unzip the file on your computer.

Upload: Use an FTP client (like FileZilla) to connect to your web server. Upload the extracted folder into the ext/ directory of your phpBB installation. (Make sure you follow the folder structure dictated by the extension author, usually ext/author_name/extension_name).

Enable: Log into your forum's Admin Control Panel (ACP).

Navigate to the Customise tab.

Under Extension Management, find the new dark mode extension in the list of disabled extensions and click Enable.
